Brown Goldsmiths
History. Craft. Heritage. Tradition.
At Brown Goldsmiths, we believe fine jewellery should feel personal — not intimidating. For generations, we’ve built our reputation on making the world of heirloom-quality jewellery accessible, enjoyable, and deeply meaningful for every client who walks through our door.
Our in-house certified gemologist and six on-site microscopes — four of them gemological — speak to the level of detail and care we bring to every piece. Whether we’re verifying a stone’s identity, crafting intricate components by hand, or inspecting a setting for long-term security, we hold ourselves to an extraordinary standard because your jewellery deserves nothing less.
Beyond our custom work, we carry a hand-picked selection of in-house designs and pieces from jewellers and craftspeople we genuinely admire — something special for nearly every taste and budget. And if you have an inherited piece that no longer feels like you, we’ll work with you to reimagine it into something you’ll love wearing every day.
In the end, everything we do comes back to one thing: making you feel remarkable — in the eyes of the world, and especially in the eyes of the people you love most.
Personalise Every Last Detail
Start with a blank canvas and build the ring you’ve always imagined. This isn’t about picking from a pre-made collection or settling for something close enough — it’s about starting from scratch and making every single decision yourself. From the metal that forms the band to the shape of the stone that sits at its centre, every element is yours to choose. Want a wide rose gold band with a pear-cut sapphire and a matte finish? Done. Prefer a delicate platinum solitaire with a round brilliant diamond and a hidden pavé detail on the inner band? That’s yours too. No two rings built in our studio look the same, because no two people who walk through our process want the same thing. Whether you come in with a clear picture in your head or just a feeling you’re trying to capture, our builder is designed to guide you from first choice to final piece — without ever making that decision for you.
Brown Goldsmith’s Rings
What started as fascinating design experiments, or special rings for friends and family 50+ years ago, has grown into our Brown Goldsmiths Signature Ring Collection. Each one has its’ own story and origin. They can be modified to fit your unique style with different metals and with your gems, or ours. We invite you to learn about these pieces, their history, and our new iterations. In doing so, we hope to inspire and excite you for your next ring purchase.
Our Signature Collection
Our Signature Collection was developed, and keeps growing, after 55 years of craftsmanship in our Freeport, Maine location. We are Freeport’s original jewelry store and the only bespoke fine jeweler in town. For decades, we have created a spectacular variety of jewelry designs meticulously crafted in our very own studio. These unique designs, including hand forged bangle bracelets, hammered chains, and gemstone rings, are exclusively ours, and can be found nowhere else.
Located in Freeport
For over 55 years, Brown Goldsmiths has called Freeport, Maine home—just steps from L.L.Bean. It’s not only our showroom, but also a workshop where our jewelers create custom pieces, perform repairs, and design our Signature Collection. We have three convenient parking options from which you can choose when you visit!
Repairs & Custom Design
Working directly with clients on cherished jewelry is at the heart of what we do best. It’s truly a pleasure to collaborate—restoring beloved heirlooms or bringing custom pieces to life.
